The Chrysler "Fifth Avenue" series cars were WORTH THEIR CONSIDERABLE weight in GOLD! THEY WERE A GREAT THROWBACK TO THE ALWAYS GREAT Pre 1975 MoPars!

[@donaldperrotta8514]

I still have the last car purchased by my dad . He purchased new ; a 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue !!!! Fabulous car !!!

[@jjs777fzr]

I’ll always remember my dad wanted the Fifth Avenue. Miss you dad.

[@paularnold2108]

My dad wanted that damned thing. It had a grille on it just like a Lincoln Town Car. I said" Dad, if you want that fancy grille, get a Lincoln! Much better car-more dependable.

[@dougtaylor2803]

My grandparents bought one brand new in 1984 and I had the honour of driving it home from the dealer. It was a fantastic car! I was 17 at the time, and as a car fanatic I was thrilled to drive a car this nice. As mentioned in the video, it had a button to turn on a rear amp which performed very well. This platform with the 318 was the choice of countless police, cabs and for good reason. Much like the Ford panther platform years later, this was reliable and durable.

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

The Chrysler 5th Avenue was an amazing car, my mother had one back in 1990. Watching this video is like reliving them days, the 1990s was the golden years.

I recently bought an '87 5th Avenue in that shape with 18,000 miles!! It drives like a dream. Mine is the only optional color they had, Gunmetal Blue Pearl Coat with the optional blue leather. I just love this car!!

[@shaneb.3982]

My Grandma had one back in 93. It was a 1987 model. She would let me drive it everytime I visited her. I was 14. She said if I got caught she would say I stole it. I miss that lady and that furry red interior of a car.

My grandmother had this exact car in this color and interior, never looked this good though! This brings back a lot of happy memories, and yes you could pile in a lot of people in it.

[@chrisj197438]

I bought one for almost nothing because the timing chain had jumped. Was garage kept and well cared for. I spent a day replacing the timing chain and gears and drove it for a few years without any problems. Definitely great cars.

[@TVHouseHistorian]

These were FAR more reliable than Chrysler's front wheel drive lineup that came along after 1989. This was a very very good car.

[@kevinvoyer5053]

Reliable might not be the term to use. But Durable sure is. These made fine cop cars, with a 360, similar to the one that came in The Little Red Express Truck. That is exactly what a good friend of mine did in a way, only took it a few steps further. He found an Imperial like this, loaded but with only a tired 318, some old lady had abused with not enough mechanical maintenance like oil changes and such. To a point at 58,000 miles the car looked like a million in all triple white. But dirty engine with horrendous blow by. Not getting out of its own way. Well my friend is her grandson who helped her keep it clean for sure, but was never able to change the oil. So she gave it to him. Then me and another good friend lent our expertise in swapping out the tires 318 and Torque Flite, for a MOPAR built 360, with Holley Pro-Injection, headers and built 727 automatic, running back to a 3:55 posi. That turned that beauty into a real sleeper! With close to 400 hp.

[@HelloRoad]

Wow that's in great shape! I just picked up a gold '87 Fifth Avenue. Such a nice floaty ride-like driving on a cloud :)

I just bought a white 88 like this! The power windows and some of the little random lights need tinkered with, but it still drives like a cloud. They only wanted 1500, I couldn't believe it. Never been a big mechanical kinda guy, but buying this has put some inspiration in me. Been watching how to tutorials all week

[@seed_drill7135]

@@craigrusso9291 I'm not into hot rods, but the engines in these 5th Avenues were pathetic. Between 110 to 135 horse power, depending on the year, from a 5.2 liter V8, with a trouble prone "lean burn" carburetor. Putting an earlier, pre-malaise era engine into one would certainly be doing it a favor. Unless you get caught. Then you could get in some trouble. Some states continue to inspect cars this age, some do not. You want to see a destroyed 5th Ave., there is a dirt track near me that used one of these to condition the track.
